    <body><![CDATA[I just made my way through the four book, epic &quot;Patternist&quot; series, and I can't say that it is my favorite of all Octavia Butler's books. But she does always satisfy with an engaging story, plenty of dark racially charged subjects, and complex sexual/gender dynamics. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love, love, love Octavia Butler. This collection of books has some great stuff in it, but it is hard to read due to the extreme violence. Not for the faint of heart...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So far its quite interesting, although a little less coherent and well written then Butler's &quot;Talents&quot; books.  Still enjoyable though, and I'm only half way through the first book of four (all in one volume).  This book is much more sci-fi, with all of the characters having a variety of su...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13805051">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a generic review for all my Octavia Butlwer novels: If you love sci-fi (and I'm an admitted junky) you'll want to take a look at it through the eyes of (the recently deseased) Octavia Butler.  I've really enjoyed the little bit of the genre produced from the female mind.  With Octavia Butler...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25297544">more...</a>]]></body>
